Soft cover. Zustand: New. Puranas, which means ancient, are part of the Hindu scriptures. They are explained as 'that which breathed in old times'. They contain vast knowledge and ancient wisdom about various disciplines such as philosophy, history, geography, sociology, politics, literature, medicine, music, mythology, religion, etc. Often in Puranas, along with various mythological narrations, we find the descriptions of many intriguing places. These places are diverse such as forests, gardens, cities, buildings, riverbanks, etc. This book is an attempt to collate and document some of the places from Puranas through illustrations (hand-drawn) done by the author.

Advances in technological advancements - whether it is telecom, space, energy or information technology - have no doubt accelerated changes in governance, but the challenge before us is how to leverage these in the best possible and most practical manner so that even the last person at the end of the line, living in far and remote corners of the country, gets all that he needs in the form of service delivery with ease.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The book is intended to be a comprehensive guidebook or a manual on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) for readers, especially from developing countries. The author argues that even though TOD started in the developed countries, we need to understand the concept of TOD from the perspective of developing countries that are culturally, demographically and economically different. The book works on that principle and explains the characteristics of TOD, discusses selected case studies to learn from, clarifies various misconceptions related to TOD, brings together various technical methods to plan for TOD and explains their advantages and disadvantages. In the end, it throws light on validity of TOD in the fast-changing urban scape of smart cities and smart mobility.Table of Contents1.
